I'd prefer to abstract index information away from the drivers.  That 
way if you guys come up with a chip that has 8 TSECs, the driver doesn't 
have to change.  Next release cycle I'm planning on bringing in PHY lib 
support, in which case we'll want to pass specific info to each instance 
of the TSEC.  That said, what you're suggesting would be a good 
candidate for a cpu_eth_init() function, that can be overridden by 
board_eth_init() if desired.  Ya man, I dig it.  I'll play around with 
that tonight.

Please keep not thinking.  It's more interesting than most peoples' 
fully-baked discussion :)
